Heirloom Roses Boost & Bloom Granular Rose and Flower Fertilizer

Product Description: A Guide to Growing Stunning Roses in 3 Steps

Providing the Right Sunlight All rose plants thrive best with ample sunlight, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sun per day. Avoid dense shade, as it can lead to fewer blooms and leggy growth.

Proper Watering and Soil Nutrition Newly planted roses should be watered 2-3 times per week until established. Thereafter, give them a deep watering (2 inches) once a week, or twice a week in extremely warm weather. Although most rose bushes will do well in average garden soil, clay-based or nutrient-deficient soils may need to be amended. Heirloom Roses offers various soil amendments to ensure successful growth.

Choosing the Right Hardiness Zone Hardiness zones help gardeners determine whether a plant will thrive in their geographical location. Selecting the correct rose bush for your hardiness zone is crucial to ensure it can be planted outdoors successfully.

The Benefits of Own-Root Roses What Sets Own-Root Roses Apart? Own-root roses are grown from cuttings taken from stock plants, unlike grafted roses where the roots are a different variety than the flowering tops. Own-root roses are hardier, as their crown has not been weakened, and they come back true to variety if frozen to the ground. They also develop a fuller, shapelier plant over time, with no rootstock suckers, leading to increased vigor, bloom, and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions When is the Best Time to Plant a Rose Bush? Plant roses anytime from spring to early fall, ensuring they are in the ground at least 6 weeks before your first frost to allow the roots to establish before dormancy.

Can I Grow Roses in Containers? Absolutely! With a sunny location and a large enough container, you can successfully grow roses. Opt for a tall pot with good drainage, and avoid Climbers or large Shrub roses.

Will My Own-Root Rose Bloom the First Year? Own-root roses will typically bloom the first year, though the initial blooms may not be true to color, size, petal count, or fragrance. These qualities will mature as the bush grows.
